They could really use an interface refresh. Oh, and I need to learn Japanese. Stephen Shores : 2008-12-20 13:45:13 It's like Myspace for grownups. Stephen Shores : 2008-12-20 13:45:03 I was actually on Facebook before, but I deleted it along with my Myspace account. I didn't understand the point of Facebook at the time, but after watching how much my wife is into it, I think I 'get it' now. Stephen Shores : 2008-12-20 13:42:30 Also now on Friendbook, I mean Facefeed....oh yeah, Facebook. http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1621706324 Stephen Shores : 2008-12-20 13:35:36 (via direct message) Stephen Shores : 2008-12-20 13:35:22 Slightly off topic: Got a Wii for an early Christmas present. If anyone here would like to exchange friend codes, let me know. Stephen Shores : 2008-12-20 13:16:23 Wish I could've seen your speech, Kris. Let us know the next time you speak. Stephen Shores : 2008-12-20 13:16:09 Loved the touristy photo, Robert.

It also works as an iPhone tripod mount. Want to try locally before I go online to buy. Robert Sanzalone : 2008-12-18 03:13:45 (y)Cool. Great job .kristopher .kristopher tate : 2008-12-18 00:40:39 I was told by many that it was highly inspirational, and I hope to see many young entrepreneurs out there starting new ventures and ideas! .kristopher tate : 2008-12-18 00:39:40 the talk centered on the current economic crisis and what we can do from japan to spark a new web economy here in Japan. .kristopher tate : 2008-12-18 00:38:56 but there were a number of people who took photos .kristopher tate : 2008-12-18 00:38:35 unfortunately, we didn't get a camera up because there wasn't a tripod to mount it .kristopher tate : 2008-12-18 00:38:12 the presentation was a blast .kristopher tate : 2008-12-18 00:38:05 good morning .kristopher tate : 2008-12-18 00:38:03 hey friends Robert Sanzalone : 2008-12-17 15:31:16 I'm wondering about the Waseda presentation as well... =wil (Wil Tan) : 2008-12-17 13:51:04 Sorry I couldn't make it, Chris =wil (Wil Tan) : 2008-12-17 13:50:54 I had to postpone my trip until Sunday because my cat fell ill Paul Papadimitriou : 2008-12-17 13:17:19 So, how did the presentation at Wasedo go? .kristopher tate : 2008-12-17 02:12:40 We're going to try and record it .kristopher tate : 2008-12-17 02:12:33 Yeah Andrew Shuttleworth : 2008-12-17 02:06:33 Good luck with the presentation.

Robert Sanzalone : 2008-12-10 05:45:31 My tacky tourist photo from Osaka yesterday. All done from one of those little booths: http://www.flickr.com/…/3097427660 / Robert Sanzalone : 2008-12-10 05:44:50 Coolio! .kristopher tate : 2008-12-10 05:42:58 met Steve Jobs that day. .kristopher tate : 2008-12-10 05:42:54 first iPhone launch .kristopher tate : 2008-12-10 05:42:52 Ah, that's from awhile back Robert Sanzalone : 2008-12-10 05:38:13 .kristopher... nice pic with Scoble on Facebook there, btw.. Robert Sanzalone : 2008-12-10 05:35:47 Played around with vlingo today. Really suggest this free app for the iPhone owners in this group. Turns a tweet into text "locally" then allows you to upload to Twitter or Facebook. Gives you a chance to change the text before you upload so you don't get any "surprises" as a post. Robert Sanzalone : 2008-12-10 05:29:42 Exactly. Cute how you give them your name for a "passport" at the beginning of the attraction.. then E.T. gives you a "personal" MERRY CHRISTMAS at the end of the ride. Flying over the city on a bike was the best part. Robert Sanzalone : 2008-12-10 05:28:32 Didn't get a a chance to try Terminator. Backdraft was another pleasant surprise... as was the San Francisco clam chowder. .kristopher tate : 2008-12-10 05:28:25 No matter how many times E.T. phones home, he still ends up at a universal studios... somewhere. Robert Sanzalone : 2008-12-10 05:27:40 E.T. is a bit dated. Robert Sanzalone : 2008-12-10 05:27:30 Jaws is now Lame. Robert Sanzalone : 2008-12-10 05:27:25 I believe it! Spiderman was the attraction which surprised me. Outstanding ride. You GOTTA check it out! .kristopher tate : 2008-12-10 05:26:43 they do have a special clinic for that (no joke) .kristopher tate : 2008-12-10 05:26:29 Hey, that can happen Robert Sanzalone : 2008-12-10 05:26:25 has OD'ed on Hello Kitty. .kristopher tate : 2008-12-10 05:26:01 ah, USJ Robert Sanzalone : 2008-12-10 05:25:52 But then again, I've had enough cute for a while, just getting back from Universal Studios Japan. .kristopher tate : 2008-12-10 05:25:37 (rain) Robert Sanzalone : 2008-12-10 05:25:19 Cute.

Stuart Woodward : 2008-12-02 06:54:27 Michael Sheetal : 2008-12-02 06:54:16 they are not after the product so closing it means nothing... it is in plain sight that they are after the people, so I don't think closing the services does any damage. none were mainstream anyway... i think both aquisitions were very good moves Stuart Woodward : 2008-12-02 06:51:54 I'm not sure it does the buyer much good in terms of reputation when they announce buyout and closure even though it might be charitable and well intentioned in terms of helping out the founder of the service that they are buying Robert Sanzalone : 2008-12-02 06:49:59 Geek Royalty. Huh. Gotta add that one to my vocab... Michael Sheetal : 2008-12-02 06:49:00 Leah Culver is a bit of a catch... smart gal... and 2nd tier geek royalty... big move to nab her Stuart Woodward : 2008-12-02 06:47:03 I guess they get some good people and code that they can reuse even if they don't keep the service going Robert Sanzalone : 2008-12-02 06:46:22 8-) Michael Sheetal : 2008-12-02 06:45:56 if i was cashed up i would be doing the same as 6apart Stuart Woodward : 2008-12-02 06:45:47 I was in company acquired by Digital Garage when the Internet Bubble burst in Japan Michael Sheetal : 2008-12-02 06:45:30 bargain prices right now Stuart Woodward : 2008-12-02 06:45:11 I think a lot of these startups were planning to be acquired and the future looks bleak for future funding in the near term Robert Sanzalone : 2008-12-02 06:44:39 Andrew still has a wet pillow from that one. Robert Sanzalone : 2008-12-02 06:44:00 Ah right. Ya, that one really surprised me too.

Robert Sanzalone : 2008-12-02 05:56:35 Wondering how things will pan out between Six Apart's Pownce vs. Digital Garage's Twitter. Mothra vs. Godzilla? Japan may be the place for the smackdown.

Kirk McMurray : 2008-11-18 10:52:23 @thetechmonkey you may think you're asking too much, but if we do our jobs well, that is a use case we would like to solve, i.e. I'm interested in x, I speak this language well, and our system says "how about these words, phrases, lists, videos, etc." TheTechMonkey : 2008-11-18 10:46:22 @mcmurrak; kinda figured my demands were posssibly asking too much, but its just a slight personal problem and hopefully only temporarily, as I can speak the Japanese language, the normal everyday talk, but when it comes to my field, its all new to me. thanks again TheTechMonkey : 2008-11-18 10:31:11 @mcmurrak thanks, and yes your site came up when I did a google search the other night, so I will be looking at that soon Kim Ahlström : 2008-11-18 08:34:50 it's been in perpetual almost-there-status for ages now.

Your demands certainly help me as the Head of Product, as I can tell how difficult it is to find lists of words for topics I'm interested in. We are working on improving our tagging, search and recommendation to make this MUCH better.

Link: http://www.pacificit.ca/…/973 .kristopher tate : 2008-11-10 04:55:10 I think you're right about trust Eric Rice : 2008-11-10 03:53:50 Yammer/Twitter 2012!! yongfook : 2008-11-10 03:24:08 the only thing that differentiates the services is trust, I think. so as soon as salesforce etc provides their enterprise twitter solution, all these little ones can kiss their customers goodbye. yongfook : 2008-11-10 03:23:11 and to create that kind of software is trivial. me and another poster here (Takeshi Amano) built something like that for another company in about a month or so yongfook : 2008-11-10 03:22:34 it's not like twitter where it's all open and has to scale massively, if you're aiming it at small businesses you could run a twitter-like service off a couple of servers. yongfook : 2008-11-10 03:21:47 yammer & friends aren't necessarily stupid, but the barrier to entry to providing that kind of service is so low that it's not something I would ever want to do Robert Sanzalone : 2008-11-10 03:15:53 Interesting. .kristopher tate : 2008-11-10 03:15:28 this actually helps you get stuff done. yongfook : 2008-11-10 03:15:28 heh .kristopher tate : 2008-11-10 03:15:20 No, yammer & friends was quite stupid yongfook : 2008-11-10 03:15:08 if it's twitter for enterprise I'm going to throw stuff. yongfook : 2008-11-10 03:14:02 looking forward to it then .kristopher tate : 2008-11-10 03:13:21 that was just for fun and giggles -- tonight is going to revolutionize business communication .kristopher tate : 2008-11-10 03:13:06 http://bluebridge.jp .kristopher tate : 2008-11-10 03:13:02 no way yongfook : 2008-11-10 03:11:39 I'm having a slow day and don't want to wait :/ yongfook : 2008-11-10 03:11:17 Kris is this what you're announcing tonight? yongfook : 2008-11-10 03:11:03 http://dochi.la /Robert Sanzalone : 2008-11-10 03:00:43 ... also her Flickr feed is here:http://www.flickr.com/…/72157608674527892 / Robert Sanzalone : 2008-11-10 02:55:59 Great interview by Christine with Joi Ito at the conference last week.http://www.thechiliseed.com/…/twicco_joiito / Robert Sanzalone : 2008-11-10 02:18:46 Kris: Needs a Yahoo Japan ID.
